Thursday's game: Jose Fernandez had a rocky patch in his longest spring outing giving up three runs in the fifth inning against the Cardinals. The right-hander came back with a 1-2-3 final inning and finished with eight strikeouts while throwing 88 pitches, 55 for strikes in six innings of a 4-3 victory. Marcell Ozuna hit a decisive solo home run in the bottom of the sixth as part of a two-hit game. One of the runs Fernandez allowed came on a bad-hop bouncer by Jon Jay that hit 2B Derek Dietrich in the face, causing a slight fracture to the bridge of his nose. Dietrich had two cuts and swelling above his left eye, but doesn't expect to be out long. Fernandez allowed five hits, including a double to Jhonny Peralty and a RBI-triple by Peter Bourjos. Adieny Hechavarria had two singles, stole a base, scored and drove in a run for the Marlins.
